@b4n requested changes on this pull request.

With a quick test, I agree that changing the behavior makes sense and is mostly compatible.
For the implementation part, I think this should be all what's needed (no need for a new Scintilla wrapper for something only used once in editor.c, and the function shouldn't be exposed in the headers anyway):

Subject: [PATCH] Enable multi-selection clipboard paste

When pasting a single-line clipboard content inside multiple or
rectangular selections, paste it in each selection rather than only
in the main one.

This changes behavior, but the old behavior is easily reproduced by
canceling a multiple selection when a single paste is desired, whereas
it was not possible to obtain multiple pastes before.

I'd be happy to get this through, but I won't open a new PR just yet (hehe) and I can't push here. Of course I can create a new PR if @elextr's happy with it ;)


In src/editor.c:

+	sci_set_multipaste(editor->sci, SC_MULTIPASTE_EACH);

This should go in editor_create_widget() along the other similar ones.

We don't actually need a new wrapper for just one call, especially not when that call is in editor.c.

This should be in the GEANY_PRIVATE section below. Only plugin API functions should be outside of it.

Please don't rewrite unrelated indentation, even if it was incorrect (and here it's not, Geany uses a tab width of 4, which aligns well). Changes like this make it a lot harder to read the actual, meaningful changes, and should be made in a specific commit if at all.
